Videos of clips from the senator screening---confirmed--subs during Greedo scene---not yellow!

Apologies if this was covered before----but I think these videos have been added recently!:

I believe this print had the 35mm optical stereo track.

When Han says "Chewie --jam it's transmissions"----in the mono version there are some discrete beeps as Chewie adjusts the controls----those seem to be absent in this version.

colors off, but you can still tell the subtitles are white.

I don't understand the point of this thread. That is, which argument does this support/negate?

This thread is to determine, once and for all, who shot first.

And, along the way, show that the subtitles are supposed to be white, instead of yellow.

What do the subtitles have to do with who shot first?

My goodness, is this what it's come to? Having to prove that Han shot first? There's nothing to prove. Han shot first. It's on film.

When did anyone ever suggest that the subtitles might have been yellow?

Just wanted to take this moment to say that on the 1977-1981 technicolor dye print that I saw in Baltimore this year, Greedo's subs were yellow.

Han never shot first, and the subtitles were never white. You were just confused.

I have to say.  I'm 42 and saw Star Wars a dozen times from 1977-1982 in the theater. There were NEVER anything but white subtitles.  Save your time debating this one, no idea what that guy in Baltimore is talking about.

Well, it was proved wrong almost as fast as it was brought up, I couldn't believe it myself, but was doubtful as it only had gone a few weeks since he saw it, no offense timdiggerm but this example really tells you something about the ridiculous stories you sometimes hear about scenes included in this film back in the day.

Obviously I was 100% incorrect in my recollection. The video, from the very same screening I was at, from probly 10ft to my right, prove how wrong my memory was.

So yeah, they were white.

And I also think you were enjoying the film, instead of taking notice, "oh those subs are actually white" it's only freaks like myself that do those things. :)

Yeah. If I had found this forum a few months before the screening, I would have paid attention. Instead, I found it after.
